00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:15.039
I wouldn't do that. We have a great, exciting

00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.679
show for you guys. We've got special guests in

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.320
the podcast with us. They're from Texas Tech,

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:24.719
and they're trying to contain themselves, because

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.760
these Texas Tech students are. and I know it's

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.160
an important question everybody's been asking

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.420
me this week the tortilla thing on the field

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:41.320
we're gonna get to the bottom of it so if you

00:00:41.320 --> 00:01:09.319
guys are ready is from Texas, from two sides

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.319
of Texas. I know one's from the northwest and

00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.599
the other is from deep, deep south Texas. Not

00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.780
San Antonio, not Coors Creek, deep south Texas.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.200
You're right there, you're smiling so much. I

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.420
am like so happy. But if all of you guys wondering,

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.680
I had nothing to do with the tortilla. Just in

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:35.040
case y 'all are wondering. But anyways guys,

00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:37.290
welcome to the podcast, guys. Is this the first

00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:38.890
time you've done a Pontiac with a boy? Yeah,

00:01:38.890 --> 00:01:45.400
yeah. Well, I feel special. I know, I know. Ellen

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.439
and I have been talking for a while because I've

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.420
been wanting to bring her on. She's been wanting

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:50.840
to come onto the podcast and I'm like, oh, I

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.840
got to get you on, I got to get you on. So we

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.340
took advantage of the fact to get you on today.

00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.140
We almost missed the opportunity and you had

00:01:58.140 --> 00:01:59.420
some plans, you had to take care of her first.

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.599
And I'm just glad you guys made it and that's

00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.299
great. I know when you drove in, you were like,

00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:05.879
where did we park? Upstairs. And they were taking

00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.439
pictures all the way inside like they look like

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.689
tourist people. from the valley. I had never

00:02:11.689 --> 00:02:17.639
seen such beautiful scenery. Shout out to the

00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.639
Villa Cortez men, a beautiful, beautiful place.

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:21.900
They have a ballroom where you can get married,

00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:23.699
throw quinceañeras, all that good stuff. Party,

00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.699
party, party all the time, except in this view.

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.180
There's no fun in here. Straight to business.

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.439
Straight to business, people. So where were you?

00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:34.560
No, I'm just joking. So let's go ahead and start

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.860
from the beginning. Ella, we drew straws. Ella

00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:38.979
said she would take the mic first. So tell us

00:02:38.979 --> 00:02:41.039
a little bit about yourself, where you grew up.

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.280
Though I know the whole backstory, to the point

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.099
of the Cheeto. Prophecy. No, no, she doesn't

00:02:48.099 --> 00:02:50.360
know about that. We're going to get to that.

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:53.419
No, we're not. No, we're not. No. No, she's going

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:55.500
to go back into all her friends and pets. And

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:56.740
every time they're going to see Cheetos, they're

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:59.319
going to yell, Cheetos. It's a beautiful thing.

00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:03.020
It's a beautiful state. But it's time to take

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:04.960
it away. Let's go. So I'm from Mission, Texas.

00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:06.819
I graduated high school from Sheridan Advanced

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:09.360
Academic Academy. And now I go to Texas Tech

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.300
University, which I love. So I mean, was that

00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:20.740
in the plans to go to Texas Tech? you know, things

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:23.020
did sort of go the way they are supposed to go.

00:03:23.379 --> 00:03:24.919
And now I'm at TechStack and I've met one of

00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:26.860
my best friends there. She's like, I'm throwing

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:28.219
the mic over her. I'm throwing the mic over her.

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.599
So I've met one of my best friends. Actually,

00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.120
we have a big friend group and I love them all

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.379
so much. Well, shout them out. Shout them out.

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.680
Say hi to everybody. Shout out to Kimmy. Shout

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.419
out to Layla. To Mia. I love them all. To Jordan

00:03:43.419 --> 00:03:45.960
Lee. There you go. So I just love them all. They're

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.159
my best friends. So, I mean, in the process of

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.960
the school, I mean, I know you wanted, I know

00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.400
there's a, you were studying to, you wanted to

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.419
be going to, I believe, what was it? Journalism?

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:57.800
Journalism. And we were going towards that effect.

00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:01.060
As soon as you left college, high school. By

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:03.439
the way, what's so cool about, a lot of them,

00:04:03.539 --> 00:04:05.060
let me put the camera off for you, I think you're

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:07.860
getting grilled there. Just add me to that. The

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:11.909
beautiful thing about... The high schools now,

00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:14.330
we never had this growing up. I wish we did.

00:04:14.909 --> 00:04:17.290
The college hours that are offered now in most

00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:20.329
of the schools, you know, and that's so, it's

00:04:20.329 --> 00:04:22.389
a wonderful thing. It's a great thing, you know,

00:04:22.569 --> 00:04:24.449
getting the first steps to college. You know,

00:04:24.490 --> 00:04:26.610
as soon as you get in there, you know, you already

00:04:26.610 --> 00:04:29.110
have your hours. I'm already here. I know what

00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:30.750
I'm doing. I know what I need to do to get the

00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:33.480
hell out of here. for our dual credit program

00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.680
because I see everybody doing their like basics

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.339
and all that stuff and so that people just don't

00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:38.839
want to do they just have to do it and I got

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.699
out of the way and now I get to focus on what

00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:43.120
I want to do which is journalism and my minor

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.389
in legal studies so I just I'm getting just what

00:04:45.389 --> 00:04:47.269
I want to do. That's good. That's good, man.

00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:49.430
And I'm happy that you're doing well up there.

00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:51.170
We're going to get to the point where both of

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:53.029
you guys, we want to talk about the Texas Tech

00:04:53.029 --> 00:04:55.449
life up there. So Katie, you're next. I mean,

00:04:55.449 --> 00:04:57.470
where are you from, where you grew up, and where

00:04:57.470 --> 00:05:00.189
did you graduate from? I was born in Seattle,

00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:02.250
but I moved to Dallas first. And then we lived

00:05:02.250 --> 00:05:04.029
in Lubbock for a little bit, so I knew about

00:05:04.029 --> 00:05:06.829
tech. And then we moved back to Dallas. I was

00:05:06.829 --> 00:05:09.709
there five years before I graduated. I graduated

00:05:09.709 --> 00:05:14.740
from Bryan Adams. The singer from Canada? No,

00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.439
it's like a little place in the ski. And then

00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.279
after that, we came to Tech. My dad went to Tech,

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:21.980
so I was kind of in the playoffs just to go to

00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:23.459
Tech and stuff. OK, wait. You're not going to

00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:26.000
just go to Tech. He did important stuff at Tech.

00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.100
Oh, he played football at Tech. There you go.

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.899
There you go. There you go. I love that, man.

00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:36.620
I see this all the time when I'm watching the

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:37.620
games. They're like, what are they doing there?

00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:39.980
What are they doing? There's a gun up. There's

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.279
a gun up? Yeah. I know you were saying on the

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.160
way back from the valley, back home, you were

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.120
like, passing people, and you were like, after

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.600
spring break, I believe it was? So spring break,

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.279
I went with Kimmy to Austin, and we were just

00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.439
all, a lot of people go from Austin to Lubbock

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.139
first of all. Right, right, right. So we're like

00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.459
driving, we see Texas Tech, and me and Kimmy

00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:58.959
were like, we're just gonna do this. And I was

00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.180
like, okay, so every time we saw a Texas Tech,

00:06:00.180 --> 00:06:02.079
like, car or person that went to Texas Tech,

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:05.279
we were just like, ah! Like, super happy, Texas

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:07.560
Tech cry. Right, right. And people probably thought

00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.360
we looked crazy just having guns up like this.

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.060
That's crazy man, so now First day going into

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:26.980
the college program Did you automatically meet

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:29.620
each other for the first day? No, we actually

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:36.279
met two months ago. Yeah So I met our mutual

00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.870
friend Jordan last year Me and him like hit off

00:06:39.870 --> 00:06:41.430
immediately like we became really good friends

00:06:41.430 --> 00:06:45.089
and then he did not introduce us Which I actually

00:06:45.089 --> 00:06:47.149
I really did want to meet Katie because he would

00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:49.829
talk about her And I was like you have to introduce

00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:52.129
me and he was like that should be weird if I

00:06:52.129 --> 00:06:54.350
just introduce you and I was like, okay Well,

00:06:54.430 --> 00:06:56.470
whatever I stopped biting him about it and then

00:06:56.470 --> 00:07:00.230
February there we volunteered at an animal shelter

00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:02.350
Okay, and he was I'm gonna buy my friend Katie

00:07:02.350 --> 00:07:03.769
you can meet her and I'm like, okay and then

00:07:03.769 --> 00:07:06.290
instantly we clicked like just super fast and

00:07:06.290 --> 00:07:08.470
then That day, she asked me to be her roommate

00:07:08.470 --> 00:07:12.329
for next year. Really? Yeah, we go to the apartment

00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:14.389
and we have an extra room for her to come down

00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:18.170
there and like, yeah. That's off of my bucket

00:07:18.170 --> 00:07:22.050
list. I was like, yeah. Which I needed to already

00:07:22.050 --> 00:07:24.050
because it was already February and people already

00:07:24.050 --> 00:07:26.350
had their room for next year. And I'm like, I

00:07:26.350 --> 00:07:28.509
don't even have any idea where I'm going to live.

00:07:29.009 --> 00:07:30.970
And then she asked me and I was like, yeah, let's

00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:33.730
do it. We literally took an apartment tour the

00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:35.769
same day. She was like, I'm applying. I was like,

00:07:35.949 --> 00:07:40.290
OK, cool. like four hours in and I'm applying

00:07:40.290 --> 00:07:42.829
I'm like I want this room because she's in the

00:07:42.829 --> 00:07:44.870
room next and I was just like yeah we were like

00:07:44.870 --> 00:07:47.529
oh and the apartment it's just you two or two

00:07:47.529 --> 00:07:49.829
other roommates? There's two other roommates.

00:07:50.529 --> 00:07:53.550
Are we looking for a fourth one now? No, we found

00:07:53.550 --> 00:07:56.129
a fourth one recently. We're making the other

00:07:56.129 --> 00:08:01.649
room a den, okay? It's an obvious way to do crafts

00:08:01.649 --> 00:08:04.689
and good stuff. But that's awesome. I mean, you

00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:07.269
guys getting together, doing that, getting that

00:08:07.269 --> 00:08:10.170
situated. I mean, because I know we talked a

00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:12.069
little bit earlier. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's

00:08:12.069 --> 00:08:14.430
the same way in Dallas as it is in the RGB about

00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:16.110
the whole bubble thing that we're talking about.

00:08:16.449 --> 00:08:20.930
You know, moving away from home itself, it could

00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:25.550
be a little, well, intimidating, agonizing, and

00:08:25.550 --> 00:08:28.040
yet like a relief. in a way, because I'm on my

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.000
own. I'm going to do my own independent thing

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:36.500
now. When you get to tech, Katie, for the first

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:38.460
time, knowing your dad's already been there,

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.220
he's already established, he's made his mark

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:45.139
in Texas Tech itself, was it difficult to adjust

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:49.240
into it, or were you at some point kind of scared

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.600
at a moment to actually step on the grounds on

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.480
your own? Yeah, I was kind of scared, because

00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.419
I knew he already had a name so people like from

00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:57.639
there knew him so I was just like as soon as

00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.080
I get there oh I'm gonna have to like work my

00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.320
hardest to just like not ruin his name kind of

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.720
like make a name for myself so it was kind of

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.899
scary at first but like when you get into it

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:14.440
I'm like I don't know like you meet the people

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.639
that he was with they were really nice and like

00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.519
they helped me out a lot through the first semester

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.440
because I was kind of confused like on everything

00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:23.019
right during classes they were like oh this is

00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:24.759
how you need to study because in high school

00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.539
um we don't really study like that yeah in high

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:31.220
school like there's more but it's more like the

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:33.179
clique who's in my group these are my friends

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:35.159
yeah i'm gonna follow this woman do for the rest

00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.980
the four years I'm here, and so forth. And when

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:40.879
you get into the real world, what I like to call

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.139
the real world, when you step into that, into

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:46.860
that piece of land that's the real world, it's

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:49.340
a whole different ball game. So what, you were

00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:52.000
the cheerleader of, the top cheerleader of the

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.240
high school, or so what, you were the top athlete

00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.240
in the high school. Boy, you're a guppy when

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.840
you walk in. You have to start from scratch again.

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:02.539
You gotta re -identify yourself again, find yourself

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:03.879
again. Even though you find yourself, you're

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.279
in high school, You've got to find yourself a

00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.220
game in this college area, you know what I mean?

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:10.440
Yeah. So I mean, you're going out there. I know

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.840
for us, as a part of the family, it was tough.

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.460
It was tough. It was heartbreaking, but it was

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:20.639
also more proud for her to go out there and do

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.379
your thing. Was she nine hours away? Yeah. Nine

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:27.639
hours away. Yeah, and it was hard. I know mom

00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.779
took you up there, right? My mom. her boyfriend,

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.519
my sister, my brother -in -law, and my dad took

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.440
me up there. That's the part of what I asked

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.039
you. When you're there, you're in your dorm,

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:42.340
because that's where you started off first, if

00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:44.379
I'm not mistaken, right? You're in your dorm,

00:10:45.259 --> 00:10:48.279
and you gotta let us know, okay? Because everybody,

00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:49.360
I've been wanting to ask this for a while, I

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.980
just didn't know how to tell. Now I got to the

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:58.820
pod. That feeling of seeing mom and dad leaving

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:01.200
you there. Uh -huh. And you're there on your

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.860
own. What's going through your mind right there

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:06.740
at that moment? So, okay. So the minute that

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:09.379
I actually moved in and everything, my sister's

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:11.899
making jokes that were not funny, but to her

00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:15.799
they were funny. And they all asked me like,

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.580
give me your location. So I was like, can't do

00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:19.960
anything tonight because they're all gonna stay

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.700
here. I can't go out to parties tonight. They

00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:27.000
were all there. And then my mom left first and

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.879
I was like, I was a little sad. She took this

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.679
horrible photo of me and I sent it on the family

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.399
group chat. I know where that photo is and I

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.279
do not like it. Nobody has it. Anybody has it

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.059
and they're watching, saying it's me right now.

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:41.820
No, no. Do not let that photo leak anywhere.

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.639
So, I honestly, I really didn't... Okay, I love

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.539
my mom, but I really didn't cry as much until

00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:51.320
I saw my dad leave. Because that was it. Nobody

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.340
else was there. Yeah, I understand, I understand.

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.240
So the minute I dropped him off at the airport,

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.840
I'm like holding back my tears, going through,

00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:00.230
like going back. When I get on the expressway,

00:12:00.350 --> 00:12:03.370
I'm like, I miss my family. I can't believe I'm

00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:06.370
here by myself. And then I get to my parking

00:12:06.370 --> 00:12:09.029
spot. I park. I just go into my dorm and I'm

00:12:09.029 --> 00:12:12.190
like, OK. What now? Where's the function at?

00:12:12.230 --> 00:12:15.090
Where's the function at? I gotta keep busy. I

00:12:15.090 --> 00:12:17.889
gotta keep busy. Oh, OK. We got our number one

00:12:17.889 --> 00:12:19.850
fan already kicked in. What's going on, Louie?

00:12:20.009 --> 00:12:22.049
Oh, my! There you go, Louie. Thank you for tuning

00:12:22.049 --> 00:12:24.409
in, man. The good friend of ours, she always

00:12:24.409 --> 00:12:26.149
watches the show, man. I'm amazed to watch you

00:12:26.149 --> 00:12:30.960
on a Friday. But anyways. So mom leaves, mom

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.399
leaves, dad leaves, you're finally on your own.

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.159
Yes. I know, I know for a fact a lot of young

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.059
teenagers that go out there on their own, yeah,

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:43.519
they're already in their 18, 19, whatever, out

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.720
there. The first thing they want to do is keep

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.580
themselves occupied. Yes. Why? The reason why

00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:49.480
is because they don't want to reminisce on what

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.740
am I family doing over here? What are they doing

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.820
now? Anyway, oh my god, I wish I was back. It's

00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:56.340
the homesickness that starts slowly coming up,

00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:04.759
but you try to keep yourself occupied. my mom

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.299
rarely let me go out in high school rarely and

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:10.679
she's watching this she knows she barely did

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.500
so the minute she left the minute my dad left

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:16.820
I was like oh my goodness I get to go out and

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:19.120
not have to ask for permission all she does is

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.019
have my location right so by the way your dear

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:27.539
just said hello so I just pretty much just went

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:35.500
out Actually, the first thing I got was Canes.

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:37.980
I don't know why I got Canes. We just love and

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:40.460
love it. Canes on University. Yeah, it's literally

00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:42.419
right off the cross the street. This conversation

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:45.080
is over. Thank you for coming by today. I'm just

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.639
joking. So you guys, is that the big thing that

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:53.480
I am texting right now? Canes? No. Skeets. Skeets?

00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:09.019
There's pictures, no. No, so that, I mean, like

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:10.799
I said, keeping the occupied is so totally different.

00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:13.539
It's like I said, you know, there's different

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:16.139
sides of everybody's personality, anybody that

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:18.240
goes out to college on their own, you know, it's

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.580
about keeping those occupied. You know, the freedom,

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.299
I can do whatever I want now, but at the same

00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:27.110
time, reality starts coming in. Classes are about

00:14:27.110 --> 00:14:28.950
to start. You actually have to focus. You don't

00:14:28.950 --> 00:14:30.529
have your parents on your butt all the time.

00:14:30.789 --> 00:14:32.889
Do your homework. Do this. Do that. Your responsibility

00:14:32.889 --> 00:14:37.409
starts slowly coming to the agenda at that moment.

00:14:37.830 --> 00:14:39.309
Actually being responsible for going to your

00:14:39.309 --> 00:14:41.269
classes because you're so close to campus and

00:14:41.269 --> 00:14:45.809
you're just like, oh well. I have to take a little

00:14:45.809 --> 00:14:47.889
nap before I go to class. Instead of not going

00:14:47.889 --> 00:14:51.129
to class. So at the end of the day, it's up to

00:14:51.129 --> 00:14:55.210
you. Right. It helps. Do you feel the responsibility

00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:57.669
Katie now that you're over there? I mean like

00:14:57.669 --> 00:14:59.149
Ella was talking about the parents was like Gary

00:14:59.149 --> 00:15:00.289
you gotta do this, you gotta do that. Do you

00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:04.149
feel it more like okay now doing this on my own

00:15:04.149 --> 00:15:07.110
is like oh yeah now I understand what my parents

00:15:07.110 --> 00:15:08.490
are talking about. Yeah and now I understand

00:15:08.490 --> 00:15:10.850
why they were like on me so hard to be like go

00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:13.389
to class, study, do this. Like for high school

00:15:13.389 --> 00:15:15.509
we didn't study for exams that hard but like

00:15:15.509 --> 00:15:17.929
over here my first exam that I took I was just

00:15:17.929 --> 00:15:23.350
like oh I was not prepared for this. After that,

00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:25.850
I was like, okay, let's get a hang of it. Be

00:15:25.850 --> 00:15:28.190
responsible for our lives, because you can't

00:15:28.190 --> 00:15:30.649
just fill a class you're paying that much for.

00:15:30.850 --> 00:15:33.470
Right, right, right, exactly. Especially the

00:15:33.470 --> 00:15:37.830
funds. Those start creeping on you slowly, and

00:15:37.830 --> 00:15:39.649
then eventually you say, well, since I'm here,

00:15:39.789 --> 00:15:43.970
I've got to get myself a job, and you venture

00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:47.429
out to find that. I found the best job. I will

00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:51.000
say that I found the best job. crazy and wonderful

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.259
little boys. My boss is amazing. So I honestly

00:15:53.259 --> 00:16:00.419
have so much fun and the pay is great. And now

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:02.539
that you're doing this, do you feel the responsibility

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:06.120
of school and work? Does it has it? No, I'm not

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.759
saying take a toll on you, but it is a little

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:09.820
bit more responsibility that falls on your back.

00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.759
You know, OK, now I got to balance this and I

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.440
got to balance this. I got to have a little fun

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.299
to see, but I still have to balance my work.

00:16:18.750 --> 00:16:20.769
and my studies at the same time. Do you find

00:16:20.769 --> 00:16:23.470
it a little more, I hate to use the word stressful,

00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:25.889
but a little bit more difficult now that you

00:16:25.889 --> 00:16:27.909
were in high school? One thing that I do like

00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:30.350
though is sometimes the boys just like to chill.

00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:33.629
So then I'll be doing homework while, you know,

00:16:33.710 --> 00:16:35.549
like there's food cooking in the oven and I'll

00:16:35.549 --> 00:16:38.950
just be doing homework really quick. Like they're

00:16:38.950 --> 00:16:42.389
watching TV, they're playing outside. Watching

00:16:42.389 --> 00:16:43.990
them, but I'm kind of also kind of doing homework

00:16:43.990 --> 00:16:46.649
and then watching them so it's like a little

00:16:46.649 --> 00:16:49.129
harder But it's not like super super stressful.

00:16:49.289 --> 00:16:50.809
I'm just like I can't work to that I have to

00:16:50.809 --> 00:16:53.809
focus because I do also The days that I don't

00:16:53.809 --> 00:16:55.750
work that's the days that I do focus and have

00:16:55.750 --> 00:16:57.870
fun with my friends. That's good That's good

00:16:57.870 --> 00:17:00.750
and on your side. I mean I don't have a job.

00:17:00.750 --> 00:17:07.690
I don't work. Sorry Just like balancing out like

00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:09.829
schoolwork and like going out with friends and

00:17:09.829 --> 00:17:12.210
just like making it to class because Don't get

00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:14.630
an 8 a .m. They just, they say that, but don't

00:17:14.630 --> 00:17:16.990
get an 8 a .m. You don't go. What goes through

00:17:16.990 --> 00:17:19.430
your head is like, oh, I used to wake up at 6

00:17:19.430 --> 00:17:22.250
.30 a .m. every day for school, like 8 o 'clock,

00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:25.750
9 a .m., 9 .30 a .m. classes, not that hard.

00:17:26.109 --> 00:17:28.029
Then you end up actually going to have fun. You

00:17:28.029 --> 00:17:30.130
don't fall asleep until like midnight, one in

00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:31.809
the morning, two in the morning, and us four

00:17:31.809 --> 00:17:35.009
in the morning. Oh my god, you ladies. Honestly,

00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:36.930
we just stay up talking until four in the morning

00:17:36.930 --> 00:17:38.809
with our friend group. And then you're like,

00:17:39.049 --> 00:17:42.230
I can't make my 930 AM. Like, this is hard. But

00:17:42.230 --> 00:17:45.410
I do do it. I do it. I just have to. The camera's

00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:47.369
right there, by the way. Yeah, I do have to.

00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:50.930
No, we go to class. We go to class. Like, I do

00:17:50.930 --> 00:17:52.609
it right after this. Whatever we do, we make

00:17:52.609 --> 00:17:54.609
sure to go make his class work. But yeah, it

00:17:54.609 --> 00:17:56.549
is kind of hard to, like, balance it out and,

00:17:56.769 --> 00:17:59.009
like, have, like, we have so much freedom now.

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.660
like coming out of like a household like that

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:03.440
and it's just like I don't whenever you have

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.940
that much freedom don't know what to do with

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:07.079
it so kind of going out was like the first thing

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.319
we started doing and then after that it just

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.960
goes into the cycle like going out but like sometimes

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.880
I do like kind of forget about studies but I'm

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:21.859
like no I can't I like that I like that you know

00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:25.900
sometimes we forget about studying But we have

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:27.940
to log in because they can see that we're actually

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:31.240
there. Yeah. They're like locking in on our studying.

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.339
We're just like focused. But then it's so easy

00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:35.440
because we live like across the hallway from

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.680
each other that I'm just like, come over, come

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.259
over. Right. And then we're just either doing

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:41.759
our homework together, doing our homework together

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.200
because we'll just be yapping the whole time.

00:18:43.339 --> 00:18:46.420
No. But we try. We try. We're here for five hours.

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.079
We have like two hours of good just doing homework.

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:52.289
Yeah. So it's not bad. It's kind of even though.

00:18:53.109 --> 00:18:55.809
So as far as, I mean, the studies and all that,

00:18:55.809 --> 00:19:00.710
how's the life on campus? I mean, a lot of, it's

00:19:00.710 --> 00:19:04.970
like I say, you see, with so many years knowing

00:19:04.970 --> 00:19:09.170
my niece, that smile. My laugh too, by the way.

00:19:09.170 --> 00:19:11.930
The laugh sets it off. And I know my wife wants

00:19:11.930 --> 00:19:14.549
you to go see us. We know that laugh. I tell

00:19:14.549 --> 00:19:18.250
you guys everything. I'm an open book, except

00:19:18.250 --> 00:19:23.589
tomorrow. I'm just locked in. No, I'm just joking.

00:19:24.609 --> 00:19:28.269
No, but the college life itself, the campus itself,

00:19:28.349 --> 00:19:31.710
what's the vibe? How is that? Is it just like

00:19:31.710 --> 00:19:35.349
a mixture of just different cultures coming to

00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:38.170
one? What does it look like? What was it to you

00:19:38.170 --> 00:19:40.549
when you walked in? Depending on what side you're

00:19:40.549 --> 00:19:42.769
on on campus, if you're towards the sub, you're

00:19:42.769 --> 00:19:49.490
going to see frats, booths. You have pie of frat

00:19:49.490 --> 00:19:54.299

media groups that are part of the Mcom building

00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.339

and like, it's not like a little hallway. It's

00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:04.480
like a little courtyard between our sub like

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.759
the union building and our library. And then

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.500
there's like just a bunch of outrageous stuff

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:10.519
going on sometimes. There's the pie thing, which

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.640

You have like all the buildings and all the buildings

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:54.720
are kind of like built like something It looks

00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:05.099
like a calculator for some reason The library

00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:08.019
looks like a bunch of books stacked up in a shelf.

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:10.519
Yeah, that's the way it's built. It's really

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.640
nice I think that's that's like the newest college

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.539
they have over there. So it's pretty cool like

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.380
She's still trying to make it go with the rest

00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:21.640
of the campus and the building. Yeah, a very

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.619
Spanish architecture. And you know that her building

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:25.619
is new because they have the Chick -fil -A with

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:29.220
the salads. Our Chick -fil -A is none of that.

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:33.059
Next to our door, there's a Chick -fil -A. They

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:35.079
don't have many nugget things for the morning.

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:38.640
No, they don't. They exclude some of the stuff.

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:43.119
No salads, no wraps. It's just... You know, but

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.519
shout out to Suez, though, because one of our

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.740
friends actually works there. Where's that free

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:47.900

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.900
be friends with. Right, right. And you're just,

00:23:03.180 --> 00:23:05.059

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:06.960
that, like, are friends with men, I'm like, I

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.279
never thought I'd be friends with you. Like,

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.589
you guys, you know, and it's like... There's

00:23:10.589 --> 00:23:12.650
definitely a lot of cultures down there, too.

00:23:13.529 --> 00:23:15.829
There's different parts. But even though this

00:23:15.829 --> 00:23:18.230
town is kind of small, it's a small town. It's

00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:20.210
a college town, basically. It is a college town.

00:23:20.210 --> 00:23:24.450
It shows at night. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't know.

00:23:24.589 --> 00:23:26.650
OK, there's one street that's busy all the time,

00:23:26.750 --> 00:23:29.170
but that's it. Broadway. Yeah, Broadway. Woo!

00:23:29.329 --> 00:23:33.410
Shout out to Broadway Street! Well, we found

00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:39.119
the nerve of the system, Mom. Look up Broadway

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.119
Street right now. Besides the party life, just

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.640
even the games, like the basketball games, there's

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.880
just so much stuff to do. There's very traditions.

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:51.339
Especially the football game. This is the question

00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:58.039
everybody's asked me. I know your sister. I would

00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.420
ask Cody, what's the deal with the tortillas

00:24:02.420 --> 00:24:04.680
going into the field, bro? And then I say, well,

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:06.859
you know what? Why ask you when I can ask my

00:24:06.859 --> 00:24:09.720
niece? Yeah, just go there. Well, you go there,

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:15.500
too. I have no idea. Talk to me. What is the

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:19.579
deal during a Texas Tech game? everybody starts

00:24:19.579 --> 00:24:23.200
throwing tortillas in the middle wall actually

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.599
in the end zone yeah what why okay I so I've

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.819
heard different stories but like kind of piecing

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:34.259
it together okay someone's someone once made

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:36.019
a comment about Lubbock saying there's nothing

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:38.059
to do they're just but the ass and something

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:41.240
else and then everyone just started So whenever

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.279
kick out happens, everybody thinks it's funny

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.059
to just throw the tortillas up. Or whenever we

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:47.559
get mad at the refs and stuff, we just throw

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.819
it out. Wow. Wow. We don't do that. We don't

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:53.420
do that. We don't know. If you guys are people

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:56.200
who want a good business idea, just get the tortillas

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.380
and just start making like carne outside and

00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:03.380
then just... I swear, Texas Tech, if you're watching,

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.000
I pledge to make a small taco stand on the field.

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:10.819
When the tortillas are being tossed out, there'll

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:14.220
be free tacos for everybody. I just gotta find

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:16.140
myself a hell of a cook. Roy, if you're watching,

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:19.940
we got business, buddy. And then people will

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:21.680
throw it like, I know something, but you cut

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.079
the hole. Oh yeah, you bite the middle so it

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:25.559
goes further. And it's like a frisbee dance,

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.430
and it just goes. Wow, not only food. on the

00:25:29.430 --> 00:25:31.829
field, but also technology for more aerodynamic

00:25:31.829 --> 00:25:34.990
to actually hit the poor ref in the field. Well,

00:25:35.049 --> 00:25:38.390
OK, but then like, oh yeah, I just hit the ref.

00:25:38.849 --> 00:25:41.109
I thought if there were bad refs, we're going

00:25:41.109 --> 00:25:43.509
to hit, like, a bunch of poor water bottles anymore.

00:25:44.069 --> 00:25:48.710
You know what? I'm glad there was a situation.

00:25:49.089 --> 00:25:51.269
I'm not sure how long ago. This is probably about

00:25:51.269 --> 00:25:55.289
nine, 10 years ago. This was an NFL game. This

00:25:55.289 --> 00:25:56.829
was with the Browns. The Browns were playing,

00:25:56.829 --> 00:26:01.150
I think they were playing, Baltimore and that's

00:26:01.150 --> 00:26:03.130
the first thing that happened they were showing

00:26:03.130 --> 00:26:06.150
bottled beer oh and the first thing happens is

00:26:06.150 --> 00:26:08.950
that the first bottle that flew out hit a player

00:26:08.950 --> 00:26:12.869
in the head and you saw 90 80 bottles fly through

00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:15.579
the air And they just started, you know, and

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:19.000
that's why they no longer serve bottle beers.

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.180
I didn't know that. Yeah, and now they move to

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:23.220
aluminum. Aluminum, you can't really throw that

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:26.019
far, it just kind of floats and whatever. It

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:30.720
even hurts with the tortilla sometimes. So one

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.019
time, I just like, I want to say to somebody

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:37.220
else, but it was me. I put ketchup on the tortilla

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:40.720
and I went, boom, smack hit a girl right in the

00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.690
head. So it's just like a red stain of ketchup

00:26:43.690 --> 00:26:47.049
and I'm like, oh no. You're in the spirit girl!

00:26:51.250 --> 00:26:56.910
It was tradition, but did I know it was going

00:26:56.910 --> 00:26:59.170
to hit in the head? I can't think of what it

00:26:59.170 --> 00:27:01.009
was. That's supposed to mean no ketchup on there.

00:27:01.710 --> 00:27:03.950
Oh, by the way, they try to take away the tortillas

00:27:03.950 --> 00:27:05.609
from us when we walk in, they like kind of check

00:27:05.609 --> 00:27:07.369
our jackets. Yeah, they try to, but we all sneak

00:27:07.369 --> 00:27:09.950
it in. See, now you're just putting yourself

00:27:09.950 --> 00:27:28.309
in there. So either they're not checking us right

00:27:28.309 --> 00:27:31.130
or they just don't care Was like they try to

00:27:31.130 --> 00:27:35.109
pat us down begging was packed There's like three

00:27:35.109 --> 00:27:38.349
famous people down on the field, yeah You had

00:27:38.349 --> 00:27:40.630
Danny Amandola, I think he went to that game

00:27:40.630 --> 00:27:44.029
actually. Yeah I was just excited to see Danny

00:27:44.029 --> 00:27:57.019
Amandola. I was like I saw him New Year's at

00:27:57.019 --> 00:28:00.660
like playing the song in New York. I made everybody

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:03.779
stop the TV because I wanted to watch him. Wait!

00:28:04.539 --> 00:28:16.440
My husband started recording. I got some sponsors

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.180

as far as coming to Texas Tech it's the life

00:30:18.730 --> 00:30:23.329
on in the state in in uh in Lubbock uh beautiful

00:30:23.329 --> 00:30:25.609
beautiful little city i mean we visit unfortunately

00:30:25.609 --> 00:30:27.230
the time i went up there was an unfortunate time

00:30:27.230 --> 00:30:30.720
to visit but it reminded me so much, the little

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.579
town next to Abernathy, about a couple of miles,

00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:37.299
I think northeast, if I'm not mistaken, right?

00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.700
Or north, somewhere up there. I was like, I don't

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:43.180
know. You're asking the wrong person. But a beautiful

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:45.400
area kind of reminded me of my hometown back

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.180
when I was a kid. But I mean, everything out

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:52.599
there is real, real country. Yes, and the dust

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.200
storms too. Yes. The wind. We have tornado storms

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.559
like every other week. Okay, we try not to bring

00:30:58.559 --> 00:31:06.420
people to the school. Honestly, Lubbock is seriously

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:10.140
just a small town. The people are great. The

00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:12.759
university is such an amazing school. Such an

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:14.799
amazing place to meet like friends like one of

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.079
my best friends, Katie. You just meet new people

00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.839
all the time and it's just like a really fun

00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:21.779
place. I like it a lot. I didn't think I was.

00:31:22.009 --> 00:31:23.910
I was like, it's so far from home, but you know

00:31:23.910 --> 00:31:27.329
what? I want to be away. And no, I love it. I

00:31:27.329 --> 00:31:28.890
love Texas Tech. That's awesome. That's good.

00:31:28.890 --> 00:31:31.970
That's a good answer. Points for Ella. Points

00:31:31.970 --> 00:31:36.269
to Gryffindor. No. No. So we talked about the

00:31:36.269 --> 00:31:38.930
tortilla thing on the field and all that good

00:31:38.930 --> 00:31:43.430
stuff. As far as your classes. most difficult

00:31:43.430 --> 00:31:46.529
class right now that you're just like, oof. You

00:31:46.529 --> 00:31:50.009
have to take it. You have to take it. You have

00:31:50.009 --> 00:31:52.049
to be on the resume saying that you did take

00:31:52.049 --> 00:31:55.450
this class. But the one that really, it's that,

00:31:55.450 --> 00:31:58.230
that nail that goes, that door nail that goes

00:31:58.230 --> 00:32:01.910
right through your fingernail. Like, oh, kill

00:32:01.910 --> 00:32:08.529
me now! Calculus. Calculus. Okay, no. No! I need

00:32:08.529 --> 00:32:17.019
calculus for business, so it's bad. No. should

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:19.680
be my media law class, because it's a lot of

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.759
papers and a lot of readings. But I actually

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.359
really love that class. So I kind of want to

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:26.200
go into media law because of that class, because

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:30.039
my professor Mrs. Lawall is the best lover. But

00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:31.759
I will say that my hardest class is my digital

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.220
production media class, only because of the professor.

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.920
If it wasn't because of the professor, that class

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.779
would be easy. But the professor, great professor,

00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:41.799
but one wrong thing and you just get an automatic

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.500
zero. Like, even if it's... He demands perfection.

00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:50.720
Yes, even if you made the ratio of the portrait

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.160
like a centimeter off, it's like, no, you did

00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:56.519
it wrong, zero. Wow! You, you know, you didn't

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.720
shoot in raw, you shot in this format, zero,

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:02.160
and you're just like, okay, I could have easily

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.690
fixed that, but... You know, just kidding. He

00:33:05.690 --> 00:33:07.769
kind of has that Gordon Ramsay effect, is that

00:33:07.769 --> 00:33:09.529
what you're trying to say? Gordon Ramsay effect!

00:33:10.009 --> 00:33:13.410
Like, I once, uh, I had her model one of my projects,

00:33:13.509 --> 00:33:15.430
so I was like, I need to take photos of people,

00:33:15.789 --> 00:33:17.150
and she was right there, so I was like, I'm gonna

00:33:17.150 --> 00:33:21.130
take photos of you. Oh, no you're not! Oh, no

00:33:21.130 --> 00:33:27.230
you're not! Don't take photos of me! It was good.

00:33:28.130 --> 00:33:30.849
He's a tough professor, but... Well, I mean,

00:33:30.990 --> 00:33:34.430
sometimes, sometimes, I mean... I've heard stories

00:33:34.430 --> 00:33:36.710
of other buddies of mine that have gone to college

00:33:36.710 --> 00:33:39.430
up north and they've had those professors that

00:33:39.430 --> 00:33:44.849
just, it's not a fun time to be in their class,

00:33:45.230 --> 00:33:48.869
but those are the ones that really, I guess,

00:33:49.150 --> 00:33:52.490
push you to the extent to make you not good,

00:33:52.490 --> 00:33:55.849
but better than what you are and what you want

00:33:55.849 --> 00:33:59.450
to accomplish in life. I mean, right now it's

00:33:59.450 --> 00:34:01.640
like, I can't stand this person, they're making

00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:03.599
me do this, but in the long run... No, but I've

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.299
learned a lot from his wanting perfection. You

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:08.980
kind of learn like, okay, if I do it this way,

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.780
I have to also do it this way, and I can't just

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:12.579
mess it up, but I have to follow it in order.

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:16.340
So it's taught me a lot, but man, that professor

00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:20.079
can be something sometimes. Now on your off time,

00:34:20.139 --> 00:34:23.059
I know besides going on to the nightlife, you

00:34:23.059 --> 00:34:32.530
know... I'm sorry! No, besides not doing the

00:34:32.530 --> 00:34:33.809
nightlife, going out with your friends, having

00:34:33.809 --> 00:34:37.010
a good time. You know, just to stay in, what's

00:34:37.010 --> 00:34:39.489
your favorite show to watch? I mean, just to,

00:34:39.489 --> 00:34:42.110
you come home, you're out of school, you're exhausted,

00:34:42.250 --> 00:34:44.269
you just turn on your telly and say, you know,

00:34:44.269 --> 00:34:47.730
I'm gonna watch this. I mean, what's the go -to

00:34:47.730 --> 00:34:50.849
show? Right now, Young Sheldon. There's a new

00:34:50.849 --> 00:34:52.949
season. Really? Yeah, there's a new season on.

00:34:53.730 --> 00:34:55.869
Netflix I just started watching it again. Okay,

00:34:55.929 --> 00:34:58.650
you gotta rewatch it till you get to the season

00:34:58.650 --> 00:35:14.780
again The little time that I actually have to

00:35:14.780 --> 00:35:17.139
like just relax because sometimes I just hang

00:35:17.139 --> 00:35:19.420
out with my friends, hang out with Katie, or

00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:22.840
I'll just be working, or actually in class, or

00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.039
sleeping in a tent. I like the way she's like,

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.719
the eyes twitching, the eyes really twitching.

00:35:30.539 --> 00:35:33.420
Okay, and also the little time that I do actually

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:36.460
have to watch TV, Smallville. I would love that

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:43.500
show. Wow. Wow. Wow. I love Tom Weller. I was

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:45.420
about to say, you're a Tom Money fan. Oh, heck

00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:48.320
yeah. You and your aunt have something in common.

00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:53.679
I love Tom Money, but I also do like they incorporate

00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.960
characters like the mom. She was also Lois Lane

00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.619
in another show. Yeah. And like they just like

00:35:59.619 --> 00:36:01.219
have all these characters and it's really good.

00:36:02.219 --> 00:36:05.940
Martha was actually Lana in the actual original

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:08.280
Superman series with Christopher Reeves. This

00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.179
was back in the 80s. Yeah, that was that was

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:13.699
interesting for us to watch especially all the

00:36:13.699 --> 00:36:16.360
other with Jonathan and all that good stuff I

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:18.559
haven't seen that show in a long time. Okay,

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:21.539
so I like I've been like pausing this show a

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:22.659
little bit So I'm like, okay, I want to focus

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:24.659
on another show or like I'm just doing this But

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:27.099
I the part that really killed me is when he died

00:36:27.099 --> 00:36:31.300
and the Jonathan died I was like, no, this happened

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:35.099
I was so sad, but they're like adjusting Okay,

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.800
but now he's in college and he's like Okay, it's

00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:41.039
getting better, obviously, because he's in college.

00:36:41.579 --> 00:36:44.940
But I think all of it just Lex Luthor. Okay,

00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.059
but the one thing that I do love the most about

00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:50.460
Smallville is that they really show the friendship

00:36:50.460 --> 00:36:54.500
between Lex Luthor and Saitama, that instrument.

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:58.099
And then it just turns slowly into this hatred

00:36:58.099 --> 00:37:00.940
for each other. But they didn't show it one day

00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:01.960
like they're friends and the next day they're

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.099
not. It's like through time and through lies

00:37:04.099 --> 00:37:06.360
and deceit and like... not trusting anymore it's

00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.380
just that's what turns into yeah and i know i

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:10.900
know Wally's watch she's gonna she's gonna get

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:13.980
ticked off on about say it's uh it's weird because

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:16.960
there's a lot there's so many superman uh series

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.980
out there i'm gonna turn real geek right now

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:24.659
uh superman series and uh tom welling's uh storyline

00:37:24.659 --> 00:37:29.820
is uh lionel luther is the actual lex luther

00:37:30.699 --> 00:37:37.019
The the one we know to hate in the end of season

00:37:37.019 --> 00:37:44.280
four he does get a little better Here's a fun

00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:46.420
thing for you if you want I know they have a

00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:50.559
I know there is a podcast available that has

00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:57.699
the And you re -watch the episode. Exactly. Oh

00:37:57.699 --> 00:37:59.739
yeah. That'd be awesome if you follow it that

00:37:59.739 --> 00:38:02.679
way because you get more insight not only of

00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:05.780
the show but with the actors telling you what

00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:08.920
their vision was. And also for young Sheldon

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.619

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:14.840

to listen to that's kind of podcast I like to

00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:23.699

little podcast once in a while jump on and when

00:38:27.690 --> 00:38:28.949
they start listening to it oh I remember that

00:38:28.949 --> 00:38:31.070
episode and they start talking about like oh

00:38:31.070 --> 00:38:32.070
wow I didn't really do that that way. One podcast

00:38:32.070 --> 00:38:35.590
that I do watch a lot besides yours mm -hmm oh

00:38:35.590 --> 00:38:42.230
wow well besides yours Dio. It's the still ugly

00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:44.809

00:38:44.809 --> 00:38:48.170
rewatch it. Oh my god there's there's so many

00:38:48.170 --> 00:38:51.929
there's so many pods out there it's it's. Podcasts

00:38:51.929 --> 00:38:54.510
have been like new thing like one of our friends

00:38:54.510 --> 00:38:56.690
even started a podcast you see and the thing

00:38:56.690 --> 00:38:59.730
is oh yeah yeah the thing is about podcasting

00:38:59.730 --> 00:39:03.190
uh is that it became really big during the pandemic

00:39:03.190 --> 00:39:06.789
when the pandemic hit you couldn't really step

00:39:06.789 --> 00:39:08.929
outside doing unless you were a central worker

00:39:08.929 --> 00:39:12.130
like i was i had to go work and then come back

00:39:12.130 --> 00:39:13.929
straight home you never had anything in between

00:39:13.929 --> 00:39:17.150
but at the same time there was a lot of people

00:39:17.150 --> 00:39:19.329
that were stuck at home and saying man i I'm

00:39:19.329 --> 00:39:22.909

00:39:45.429 --> 00:39:46.219
gonna, I'm gonna, I'm struggling and pulling

00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:47.840
and trying to get to the top of the mountain,

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:51.940
you know, but it is what it is. So on the long,

00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:54.019
this is something I'll let the table for you

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:59.860
both ladies since you became such babies in the

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:03.699
same apartment now. Have you all thought about

00:40:03.699 --> 00:40:05.960
doing anything like that, like a small podcast

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:08.219
between all three of your roommate, you and your

00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:12.860
other roommate? OK, we actually have it, but.

00:40:12.909 --> 00:40:14.530
We said we were going to start a podcast when

00:40:14.530 --> 00:40:16.670
we were coming over here in the car because we

00:40:16.670 --> 00:40:21.150
had like 10 hours of driving. And the things

00:40:21.150 --> 00:40:26.530
that we went through during our drive. I almost

00:40:26.530 --> 00:40:28.309
died though, a couple times. Her driving a quick

00:40:28.309 --> 00:40:34.829
one. Okay, okay, okay. Her music taste is so

00:40:34.829 --> 00:40:43.769
questionable. Little baby. English music that

00:40:43.769 --> 00:40:45.769
we all listen to is like Taylor Swift, Jenner's

00:40:45.769 --> 00:40:48.349
brothers just pop. We don't like Taylor Swift.

00:40:50.050 --> 00:40:56.050
I'm sorry. No, she's a great artist. I just,

00:40:56.190 --> 00:41:00.090
she's not like my top fave, so. Yeah. But I love

00:41:00.090 --> 00:41:02.389
the Jenner's brothers and I love Selena Gomez

00:41:02.389 --> 00:41:06.570
and I love Maluma and Bad Bunny, so. Oh, God.

00:41:07.309 --> 00:41:09.610
Oh, wait a minute. Your ad just jumped off. I

00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:14.820
don't understand. No. So, those are the best

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:16.619
times when you're having, when you're on the

00:41:16.619 --> 00:41:18.679
road, just turn on your phone, just push record,

00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:21.400
audio, not video, just audio, and just let it

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:23.760
go. Just let it go when you get home, get it,

00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:25.480
download it to your computer, and just cut it

00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:28.280
up. I mean, consider the fact, and here's another

00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.280
thing, and I want your opinion on this now, that

00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:34.380
your guys' generation that's bringing this in,

00:41:34.539 --> 00:41:37.150
I'm the older generation, this is like... Totally

00:41:37.150 --> 00:41:39.190
like oh my god, what happened to imagination,

00:41:39.750 --> 00:41:42.170
you know the imagination of doing stuff for yourself

00:41:42.170 --> 00:41:51.929
this whole AI That's happening now Yes What are

00:41:51.929 --> 00:41:53.809
your thoughts on that I mean consider the fact

00:41:53.809 --> 00:41:57.610
AI is moving so fast now Oh, it's crazy because

00:41:57.610 --> 00:41:59.809
sometimes like I've seen pictures on like to

00:41:59.809 --> 00:42:02.130
talk and it's like oh I put a picture of this

00:42:02.130 --> 00:42:03.690
and this together and I wasn't even there and

00:42:03.690 --> 00:42:14.920
it's like You can literally just give your space

00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:18.360
photo to the AI and then describe where you want

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.559
to be at and it literally brings out the exact

00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.260
photo that you need. If one of your friends actually

00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:25.219
went to the event, just give them the photo that

00:42:25.219 --> 00:42:27.469
your friend was at. And then put like the be

00:42:27.469 --> 00:42:29.329
like dad to be to put my face on top of this

00:42:29.329 --> 00:42:31.090
person, right? Change the outfit a little bit

00:42:31.090 --> 00:42:34.309
and boom. I mean, you know, when you say that

00:42:34.309 --> 00:42:36.809
you guys are saying that I know that there's

00:42:36.809 --> 00:42:39.489
other formulas that are coming out also. And

00:42:39.489 --> 00:42:42.050
the reason the reason I just recently went on

00:42:42.050 --> 00:42:44.369
vacation to San Antonio, took my wife to go see

00:42:44.369 --> 00:42:47.889
J Hope in San Antonio. By the way, she had an

00:42:47.889 --> 00:42:50.409
awesome time and just a pain in the butt trying

00:42:50.409 --> 00:42:52.030
to pick her up afterwards. But that's a horror

00:42:52.030 --> 00:42:58.030
story. My niece. Melanie, a shout out to Melanie

00:42:58.030 --> 00:43:00.150
and Juan and their little beautiful baby boy.

00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:05.989
She is a teacher from home and she teaches from

00:43:05.989 --> 00:43:09.949
across the world, people that kids are in Italy

00:43:09.949 --> 00:43:11.289
and stuff like that, you know, they turn their

00:43:11.289 --> 00:43:15.010
homework. And one time I was sitting there and

00:43:15.010 --> 00:43:16.769
she was getting so upset because they had to

00:43:16.769 --> 00:43:18.989
turn essays and reports, you know, and I'm like,

00:43:19.050 --> 00:43:20.469
what's going on? It goes, this kid right here,

00:43:20.530 --> 00:43:23.130
look what he did. I go, what? He did his essay.

00:43:23.309 --> 00:43:26.420
Okay. With an AI. I go, how the hell do you do,

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:28.119
how do you help? Well, there's, if you start

00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.920
showing me what they use to figure out if it's

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:40.880
AI incorporated, I'm like, holy crap. Yeah, so

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:43.800
that's what I'm saying is like, if there's, there's

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.219
always someone trying to cut corners and there's

00:43:47.219 --> 00:43:49.440
always somebody waiting there like, eh, brick

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.610
wall, what's going on? What are you doing? though

00:43:52.610 --> 00:43:56.050
too like that it is AI because the way it sounds

00:43:56.050 --> 00:43:57.949
like it's like no one's gonna sound like that

00:43:57.949 --> 00:44:01.269
yeah but there's like humanizers now for AI which

00:44:01.269 --> 00:44:03.369
is like you give something like literally copy

00:44:03.369 --> 00:44:05.909
and paste it like a prompt to chatgbt and put

00:44:05.909 --> 00:44:07.869
it through the AI and then give it back to AI

00:44:07.869 --> 00:44:10.130
like I didn't write that And then you go through

00:44:10.130 --> 00:44:13.250
an AI checker and it'll be like 0 % AI. But it

00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:15.929
does still sound like AI. If you actually finish

00:44:15.929 --> 00:44:18.110
reading it, it does sound like AI. Wow. Even

00:44:18.110 --> 00:44:20.110
if it doesn't say like, oh, it's 0 % chance it's

00:44:20.110 --> 00:44:22.369
AI, you can still tell. But some people do write

00:44:22.369 --> 00:44:25.769
like it's AI, like the professional essays, if

00:44:25.769 --> 00:44:27.889
you want to call them. And when we write those,

00:44:28.389 --> 00:44:30.380
sometimes I go back and I'm like, how? I don't

00:44:30.380 --> 00:44:33.159
understand the word, but how do I use that on

00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:35.159
a daily basis, like in my conversations or anything.

00:44:35.900 --> 00:44:39.119
But one essay, which I was kind of proud of this,

00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:41.920
our professor emailed me. It was like, it looks

00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:43.800
like you used AI in the essay. I was like, no,

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:45.860
I didn't. I was sitting in the library for five

00:44:45.860 --> 00:44:48.679
hours. You can check the camera. I was there.

00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:51.019
I was there. No, you're not putting me under

00:44:51.019 --> 00:44:55.900
this. That's AI, ma 'am. I'm sorry. Like I was

00:44:55.900 --> 00:44:57.800
just like I described like what I did and like

00:44:57.800 --> 00:44:59.639
they like have a whole conference with you if

00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:01.960
you think you used AI They have a whole conference

00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:04.300
with you you explaining what you wrote down like

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:06.019
how like you did the assignment and then they

00:45:06.019 --> 00:45:19.760
get over it if it's like So after 2028 right

00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:24.139
you're saying the the year graduation 2020 is

00:45:24.139 --> 00:45:27.400
around the corner, Nick, tomorrow's graduation

00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:32.900
day. What is it, what's the goal when you graduate?

00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.539
What is, are you looking forward to as soon as

00:45:35.539 --> 00:45:38.139
you step off that campus and go into the bigger

00:45:38.139 --> 00:45:41.840
open sea world? It's, I mean, no pun intended,

00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:47.119
but the open sea, pretty much the bigger, you

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.380
know, small fish in a bigger shape of water.

00:45:50.900 --> 00:45:53.300
I mean, what are the goals Katie? What are you

00:45:53.300 --> 00:45:55.980
looking as far? It's definitely scary, but um,

00:45:56.059 --> 00:45:58.139
my dad has a business with he owns a car dealership

00:45:58.139 --> 00:46:01.360
and stuff We're trying to lean that on me. I

00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.019
don't want the siblings, but we'll see how that

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:06.719
goes if not Um, there's a six month program for

00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:09.099
a real estate agent like to get a certification

00:46:09.099 --> 00:46:11.880
We're we're trying to see if I can get that during

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.179
college and then go into real estate as soon

00:46:14.179 --> 00:46:16.619
as like i'm off the stage I'm getting my like

00:46:16.619 --> 00:46:18.860
bachelor's and i'm out. There you go. Yeah, there

00:46:18.860 --> 00:46:24.829
you go Ms. Ella, what is the plan? So I have

00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:27.610
finally sat myself down and actually thought

00:46:27.610 --> 00:46:31.809
about this. What I want to do is the as soon

00:46:31.809 --> 00:46:34.550
as I graduate, I want to have already gotten

00:46:34.550 --> 00:46:37.349
into a law school. And while I'm going to law

00:46:37.349 --> 00:46:39.610
school, also practice journalism and actually

00:46:39.610 --> 00:46:42.650
be on the news and start applying for different

00:46:42.650 --> 00:46:46.699
areas. Yeah. And with that money help. You know,

00:46:47.260 --> 00:46:49.780
we'll pay for law school and then do media law.

00:46:50.019 --> 00:46:51.500
That's what I want to do. You want to become

00:46:51.500 --> 00:46:55.679
a lawyer? And especially work in media law, so...

00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:03.099
Yes! We can bring out the bodies. No, uh... Mika!

00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.639
I did something! I need you to come help me.

00:47:07.539 --> 00:47:13.860
Bring in books! No. Lady, we are 47 minutes into

00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:17.090
the pocket, I tell you. It went by fast. It keeps

00:47:17.090 --> 00:47:19.969
moving, keeps moving. So we were talking beforehand.

00:47:21.269 --> 00:47:24.130
Okay, I'm just going. We were talking beforehand.

00:47:24.630 --> 00:47:26.869
Ella was telling me something about a different

00:47:26.869 --> 00:47:32.530
language. Oh yeah. Do you speak? Talk to me.

00:47:33.630 --> 00:47:37.309
You try to face me, I'm like, what? Okay. By

00:47:37.309 --> 00:47:39.610
the way, you say you were raised in Seattle?

00:47:39.829 --> 00:47:44.900
Yeah. Did we come back from China? I was like

00:47:44.900 --> 00:47:46.539
raised in Seattle for like five years and then

00:47:46.539 --> 00:47:48.800
moved to Dallas, came to Lubbock for like two

00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:51.380
years. So I like, I kind of knew who I wanted

00:47:51.380 --> 00:47:53.519
to go to second anyway. And then went back to

00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:56.679
Dallas and then moved back. But my mom's side

00:47:56.679 --> 00:48:00.099
is from like Iran. Wow. Yeah. So whenever they

00:48:00.099 --> 00:48:02.559
came over here and like, I kind of grew up bilingual.

00:48:02.739 --> 00:48:04.820
So I was like speaking English and Parsi at the

00:48:04.820 --> 00:48:07.920
same time. So with them, when I was in the house,

00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.539
they would like speak Parsi and then my grandparents

00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:12.420
don't really know English, but they... Like,

00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:13.840
they can't understand it. They just don't know

00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:16.539
how to speak it that well. So, with them, like,

00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:18.539
it was just like, I would have to learn Farsi,

00:48:18.619 --> 00:48:19.960
because I had to, like, communicate with them,

00:48:20.139 --> 00:48:23.619
too. So, we learned that from them. It's pretty

00:48:23.619 --> 00:48:25.260
cool, I don't know. Every time, like, people,

00:48:25.420 --> 00:48:26.920
like, I started talking on the phone with my

00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:28.460
mom or something, they'd just be like, what are

00:48:28.460 --> 00:48:30.880
you saying? Is that Spanish? I'm like, no, it's

00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:32.579
like Farsi, and I have to go through the whole,

00:48:32.579 --> 00:48:35.860
like, process of explaining. Yeah, we'll, like,

00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:37.800
all be, like, in our, our whole friend group

00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.039
will be in Katie's dorm, and I'll listen to you

00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:42.239
to call. And she, at the beginning, she didn't

00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:43.619
step out. She would just be like, answer the

00:48:43.619 --> 00:48:46.280
phone, and we'd all be like... They all go silent,

00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.480
and so silent, and we're just in awe. We're like,

00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:51.320
what did she say? We're like, what did she say?

00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:53.599
Like, what do you think she's saying? And then

00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.199
we'll be like, what did she say? It's totally

00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:56.820
different from what we thought, but, you know,

00:48:57.179 --> 00:48:58.619
I'm literally, like, most of the time, they call

00:48:58.619 --> 00:49:00.079
me, they either did something, and they're telling

00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:03.559
me. Oh, and then... I'd be like, oh, OK, cool.

00:49:03.659 --> 00:49:05.900
Like, you did it. Cool, now I know. But sometimes

00:49:05.900 --> 00:49:07.559
I'm trying to explain to them what's happening

00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:09.340
or what I'm doing at the moment. And then whenever

00:49:09.340 --> 00:49:12.059
I come, did y 'all cuss me out? What did you

00:49:12.059 --> 00:49:14.760
say? Did you talk bad about me? Like, what did

00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.199
you do? No, I just told them what happened. And

00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:19.039
then now I just learned. As soon as I see the

00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:20.679
phone call, I'm like, I'm running out the room.

00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:24.099
No, y 'all are nothing like that. We're all just

00:49:24.099 --> 00:49:27.150
sitting in her bang -bag chair, in her bed. And

00:49:27.150 --> 00:49:29.110
we're just silently waiting, saying we can all

00:49:29.110 --> 00:49:30.610
just be super quiet so we can hear her, but she

00:49:30.610 --> 00:49:34.670
walks away. OK. Smart girl. We're trying to figure

00:49:34.670 --> 00:49:36.809
out what she's saying. We're just like... A conversation

00:49:36.809 --> 00:49:41.409
with your mom. I'm mom. What are you doing? Like

00:49:41.409 --> 00:49:48.570
you want me to speak? OK. That is so awesome.

00:49:49.230 --> 00:49:51.170
I love listening to the different languages,

00:49:51.449 --> 00:49:54.210
man. I mean, my... First of all, what did you

00:49:54.210 --> 00:49:57.440
just say? I just said... with my friends and

00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.099
we're just talking over here. That's awesome.

00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:03.519
Thank you so much. My wife is really into Korean

00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:07.199
dramas and she watches as much as she can and

00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:09.539
she starts learning. It's funny because we'll

00:50:09.539 --> 00:50:11.039
be having conversations and she gets upset and

00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:13.420
she'll tell me something. In Korean, I'm like,

00:50:13.940 --> 00:50:16.880
what did you say? I don't know if I can say this

00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:19.920
on the podcast, but I totally am. One time, Wally,

00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:22.739
this is me loving you so much, but one time I

00:50:22.739 --> 00:50:25.150
heard... that she got drunk one time and she

00:50:25.150 --> 00:50:27.769
started speaking Korean and our cousin had his

00:50:27.769 --> 00:50:29.710
friends over and they were all so like, what

00:50:29.710 --> 00:50:32.730
is going on? Oh, there you go, baby, threw you

00:50:32.730 --> 00:50:39.329
under the bus. I love listening to different

00:50:39.329 --> 00:50:41.889
languages. They're so, I don't know, it's just,

00:50:42.610 --> 00:50:44.469
hearing it, I mean, like I said, I grew up in

00:50:44.469 --> 00:50:48.289
the Valley. Yeah. You know, yeah, you hear, you

00:50:48.289 --> 00:50:51.090
hear, you know, Asian people in the area, you

00:50:51.090 --> 00:50:53.809
hear the Filipino talk, the Vietnamese talk,

00:50:53.909 --> 00:50:57.469
and so on and so forth. You hear it, okay, you're

00:50:57.469 --> 00:50:59.750
already used to it, okay, whatever. But when

00:50:59.750 --> 00:51:02.110
you step out into the bigger world, you hear

00:51:02.110 --> 00:51:04.130
the other language you're speaking, you hear

00:51:04.130 --> 00:51:07.050
different, the mixture of so much culture. You're

00:51:07.050 --> 00:51:11.909
like, wow, talk about a big curtain. You're actually

00:51:11.909 --> 00:51:13.429
looking through it like, I wonder what's over

00:51:13.429 --> 00:51:15.449
there. No, no, no, no, no, stay here, because

00:51:15.449 --> 00:51:18.030
that's the culture down here. I've always told

00:51:18.030 --> 00:51:21.489
my nieces, I try to express it as much as I can.

00:51:21.530 --> 00:51:23.889
Even my nephews that are about to graduate and

00:51:23.889 --> 00:51:26.949
so on and so forth. I go, guys, you gotta explore.

00:51:27.070 --> 00:51:30.250
I know it's tough, as a parent, it's tough. It's

00:51:30.250 --> 00:51:32.829
tough letting the little ones out into the world,

00:51:32.869 --> 00:51:35.789
because you wanna protect them as much as you

00:51:35.789 --> 00:51:37.909
can, you know what I mean? And I understand that,

00:51:38.010 --> 00:51:41.829
I totally understand that. But they can only

00:51:41.829 --> 00:51:45.409
learn more if they explore past the curtain.

00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:50.760
that we have here in the RGB, the four counties

00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:53.559
that are in the area, to actually go into the

00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:55.880
open world and learn more. You know, they'll

00:51:55.880 --> 00:51:57.960
come back. They'll eventually come back because

00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:00.219
they will. They will come back. Why? The food?

00:52:00.619 --> 00:52:06.059
The food? The hungry? She loved the food. She

00:52:06.059 --> 00:52:07.860
was like, we're just eating until like, what,

00:52:07.940 --> 00:52:09.099
10 o 'clock? What did y 'all have for dinner

00:52:09.099 --> 00:52:12.639
today? For dinner, my grandpa made baby back

00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:18.030
ribs. Pork, he made chicken, he made sauces.

00:52:18.289 --> 00:52:20.130
Yeah, and then they bought, what did he make?

00:52:20.349 --> 00:52:23.230
Uh, so he got pan dulce. Yeah. And she finally

00:52:23.230 --> 00:52:26.170
had her, like, valli pan dulce. She bread? Yeah,

00:52:26.170 --> 00:52:27.590
I haven't had it, but like, the other ones are

00:52:27.590 --> 00:52:28.730
kind of dry, and they're like the ones that...

00:52:28.730 --> 00:52:30.670
Yeah, and you have the valli ones, they're so

00:52:30.670 --> 00:52:33.110
authentic. Those were good. Let me tell you something.

00:52:33.369 --> 00:52:34.150
Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.

00:52:34.510 --> 00:52:37.690
Let me educate you on something, mama. You come

00:52:37.690 --> 00:52:40.050
down here with Ella. You're never gonna stop

00:52:40.050 --> 00:52:43.869
eating. You're gonna take... A little bit of

00:52:43.869 --> 00:52:47.969
the valley with ya. Just a little bit of the

00:52:47.969 --> 00:52:50.630
valley with ya. I heard it going on nightly walks

00:52:50.630 --> 00:52:52.789
and runs. But I tell you this much, when you

00:52:52.789 --> 00:52:56.230
take a little bit of the valley with ya, you're

00:52:56.230 --> 00:52:57.989
gonna be a lot more warmer up in Lubbock, girl.

00:52:59.389 --> 00:53:01.829
It's not so cold anymore. No, but it makes like

00:53:01.829 --> 00:53:04.670
the Lubbock foods are like... Okay, let's not

00:53:04.670 --> 00:53:06.650
say Lubbock foods. Oh, it makes the other food

00:53:06.650 --> 00:53:10.079
seem like boring, kind of. I mean, it's like

00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:12.400
I said, we were talking earlier about Texas barbecue.

00:53:13.059 --> 00:53:14.980
You know, anywhere, anybody in any other state

00:53:14.980 --> 00:53:17.960
will tell you Texas has the best barbecue. Nonetheless,

00:53:18.579 --> 00:53:21.559
you know, and you come to the valley, I mean,

00:53:21.739 --> 00:53:27.179
we will be out there on 30 degree weather, still

00:53:27.179 --> 00:53:30.019
cooking up a storm as much as we can in shorts

00:53:30.019 --> 00:53:32.699
and the muscle shirt, smoking and drinking a

00:53:32.699 --> 00:53:39.489
beer. Shout out to my deal. But it's. The food

00:53:39.489 --> 00:53:42.389
down here, I mean, and it's true that my wife

00:53:42.389 --> 00:53:44.909
and I say the same thing, we've gone to like

00:53:44.909 --> 00:53:48.650
San Antonio, it's all right. We've gone to Austin,

00:53:48.809 --> 00:53:51.750
we've gone to South Dakota, we've eaten Nebraska.

00:53:52.269 --> 00:53:54.230
Just the trips that we've had outside of the

00:53:54.230 --> 00:53:58.570
valley, I mean, it's not the same. It's just...

00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:00.800
Don't know I don't know whether that could just

00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:03.739
be me speaking out loud of the RGB It's just

00:54:03.739 --> 00:54:07.039
that soul food, you know, it's it's so good.

00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.599
Yeah, you know, I mean look we're talking about

00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:11.900
Easter coming up this Sunday and we're explaining

00:54:11.900 --> 00:54:26.989
to you that I had to go eat with my grandpa,

00:54:27.230 --> 00:54:30.269
Tony, and his wife. I was just constantly eating.

00:54:31.170 --> 00:54:33.489
And then tomorrow, Janelle's baby shower, we're

00:54:33.489 --> 00:54:37.730
gonna be eating. And then, all day, Easter, it's

00:54:37.730 --> 00:54:40.610
like, we eat. Yeah. Yeah. Kayla's worried. She

00:54:40.610 --> 00:54:43.110
told me, she told me. No, she told me the plans

00:54:43.110 --> 00:54:44.650
before we came. I'm gonna have to go to the grocery

00:54:44.650 --> 00:54:46.949
store, get me some new hookahs. Yeah, I need

00:54:46.949 --> 00:54:49.789
them now. You're gonna be running and trying

00:54:49.789 --> 00:54:52.030
to get new friends. Get new shirts. Everything's

00:54:52.030 --> 00:54:56.530
gotta change now. I will run back to Loba. Yeah,

00:54:56.590 --> 00:55:03.289
I'll meet you there. We eat a lot. It's so good

00:55:03.289 --> 00:55:06.150
though. It's so good. Now, this is the time I

00:55:06.150 --> 00:55:09.409
want to give Katie a chance to ask me a question

00:55:09.409 --> 00:55:15.789
about my beautiful niece. And I'll let you know,

00:55:15.949 --> 00:55:18.409
because I mean, it's only fair. It's only fair.

00:55:19.329 --> 00:55:21.510
No! Hold on, there's a story you mentioned about

00:55:21.510 --> 00:55:41.429
a Cheeto. It was a cold story night now No, my

00:55:41.429 --> 00:55:44.469
wife and I we we used to take care of Ella when

00:55:44.469 --> 00:55:45.949
she was a baby, you know Sometimes mom had to

00:55:45.949 --> 00:55:48.590
work late and we would help out. Yeah watch watch

00:55:48.590 --> 00:55:53.789
over her. Well one night We she was with us and

00:55:53.789 --> 00:55:56.860
we had to go I think it was to a Walmart, I think

00:55:56.860 --> 00:55:59.320
it was in Edinburgh at the time. And we drove

00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:00.920
up to Edinburgh, went to the Walmart, running

00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:02.980
around, and she was having a time of her life.

00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:06.219
She was on the shopping cart. I'm talking about

00:56:06.219 --> 00:56:08.639
maybe what, two, three years old at the time?

00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:09.900
No, I think she was smaller. I think she was

00:56:09.900 --> 00:56:12.019
like about a year old, about a year old or two

00:56:12.019 --> 00:56:13.519
years old. I had to have been two until I was

00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:17.219
talking. Yeah, two years old. And we were walking

00:56:17.219 --> 00:56:19.539
around Walmart and everything, and what's up,

00:56:19.539 --> 00:56:21.320
how are you? And she kept on, she kept on, she

00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:22.980
was like grabbing stuff and grab, go ahead, go,

00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:25.670
Wally. Just give this girl something she wants

00:56:25.670 --> 00:56:28.110
because she's constantly grabbing stuff. Give

00:56:28.110 --> 00:56:29.329
her the bag of Cheetos or we'll give her the

00:56:29.329 --> 00:56:32.690
bag of Cheetos. So we're walking around and I

00:56:32.690 --> 00:56:34.849
open them up. She gets mad at me. Why'd you open

00:56:34.849 --> 00:56:36.150
them up? We're going to pay for them. Let her

00:56:36.150 --> 00:56:37.710
eat them, all right? Let her eat the Cheetos.

00:56:38.690 --> 00:56:41.610
So we're walking around Walmart. No one was sending

00:56:41.610 --> 00:56:44.110
us a look. She finishes everything. She finishes

00:56:44.110 --> 00:56:49.010
the whole bag in Walmart. She's upset because

00:56:49.010 --> 00:56:51.679
she finished it all. So she was already fussy,

00:56:51.900 --> 00:56:53.719
and she was like, yeah, she's ready to go home.

00:56:53.940 --> 00:56:55.860
So I'm carrying her to the car. We're going to

00:56:55.860 --> 00:56:58.679
put her in her little car seat in the back, I

00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:02.119
buckle her in, and then she falls asleep. She

00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:04.619
just falls asleep at the end, but she's mad.

00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:07.559
She's still mad. She's so upset. I was mad. I

00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.179
was mad. She was ticked off because she didn't

00:57:10.179 --> 00:57:13.300
have the chills anymore. And I'm looking at Wanda

00:57:13.300 --> 00:57:16.460
going, aw, look at her, man. Baby she died or

00:57:16.460 --> 00:57:18.820
you should stop by the by the store and get us

00:57:18.820 --> 00:57:21.619
some more Cheetos and right when I say that my

00:57:21.619 --> 00:57:47.239
wife and I look at the back she's like Does she

00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:50.400
still try not to cheat when she's asleep? She

00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:54.059
snores sometimes. No! You never know. You never

00:57:54.059 --> 00:57:57.980
know. You never know. No! Okay, it's only because

00:57:57.980 --> 00:58:00.780
loving is so dry. It's so dry up there. I think

00:58:00.780 --> 00:58:04.199
she snored last night, too. You accepted another

00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:24.059
room! Yeah, I could hear it. That's better. Oh,

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:30.059
no, I got one. You only get one every time you

00:58:30.059 --> 00:58:31.800
come to the podcast. You get one more, though,

00:58:31.900 --> 00:58:33.460
because you know what? She came with me all the

00:58:33.460 --> 00:58:35.980
way down for nine hours. What's another one?

00:58:37.659 --> 00:58:40.039
The wife is watching, so if you have one, if

00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:41.500
you have one, toss it out there. I'm trying to

00:58:41.500 --> 00:58:43.440
think of one straight off the top of my head.

00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:44.619
I can't really remember. There's just too many.

00:58:45.019 --> 00:58:47.780
There's so many. There's so many to actually,

00:58:47.780 --> 00:58:50.079
I mean, drop it. Oh, my gosh, when I asked Grandma

00:58:50.079 --> 00:58:52.800
if she knew George Washington. Oh, there you

00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.800
go. Go ahead. I'll let you have that one. Go

00:58:55.800 --> 00:58:58.360
ahead. No, I don't even remember what I said.

00:58:58.739 --> 00:59:00.500
I actually had my grandma go out to me one day,

00:59:01.300 --> 00:59:02.539
and we were out just laughing and talking. She's

00:59:02.539 --> 00:59:04.539
like, oh, yeah, when you asked if I knew George

00:59:04.539 --> 00:59:11.559
Washington, I was like, I did? I didn't know

00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:14.159
my concept of time, OK? I just thought, she's

00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:17.219
old. She's a little older. Oh, shit. She's a

00:59:17.219 --> 00:59:21.099
little old. Ladies and gentlemen, you know, when

00:59:21.099 --> 00:59:25.320
you do a podcast, it's set in stone. I'm not

00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:40.579
going to edit any of this out. No, I know one.

00:59:41.420 --> 00:59:45.079
So many years seeing Ella grow up, she would

00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:47.239
always, you know, she, you know, what's so heavy.

00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:49.780
She never asked me what I did. She never asked

00:59:49.780 --> 00:59:56.179
me what I did for a living. I was in so many

00:59:56.179 --> 00:59:58.119
different jobs. I mean, the one I liked working

00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.719
the most was GameStop at the time. And in GameStop,

01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:04.079
I would wear a lot of football jerseys, baseball

01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:10.440
jerseys, and so on and so forth. So check it

01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:13.559
out. So we're sitting down one day. I think you're

01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:17.420
already a sophomore already in high school or

01:00:17.420 --> 01:00:19.829
a freshman in high school. And we're sitting

01:00:19.829 --> 01:00:21.590
out there, and he goes, Dio, can I ask you something?

01:00:21.630 --> 01:00:24.329
I go, what's up? He goes, what do you do? I go,

01:00:24.389 --> 01:00:26.110
what do you mean, what I do? He goes, what do

01:00:26.110 --> 01:00:28.050
you think I do? You're a football player, right?

01:00:28.170 --> 01:00:31.869
I go, what? OK, I don't want trouble. OK, first

01:00:31.869 --> 01:00:34.750
of all, do you see the car driving in? Do you

01:00:34.750 --> 01:00:37.750
see the house I live in? Does it look like I'm

01:00:37.750 --> 01:00:41.170
an actual football player? I go, come on. No,

01:00:41.170 --> 01:00:44.190
I'm not. But thank you for the beautiful - No,

01:00:44.190 --> 01:00:45.789
I thought it was an O -line or something. Oh,

01:00:45.789 --> 01:00:50.780
wow. Wow. I would've took the place kicker or

01:00:50.780 --> 01:00:55.599
punter. Okay, place kicker's crazy. Okay, but

01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:58.460
it's because I was little. I was like five, six,

01:00:58.500 --> 01:01:01.500
seven years old just watching him. I would see

01:01:01.500 --> 01:01:03.800
him in a football jersey. So I thought, okay,

01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:06.440
he has to be a football player. Didn't know,

01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:08.179
you know. Yeah, because football players walk

01:01:08.179 --> 01:01:12.550
around in their jerseys 20 % of the time. You're

01:01:12.550 --> 01:01:14.909
in Texas Tech, and you see the gate. Do you see

01:01:14.909 --> 01:01:16.469
any football player walking around with a jersey?

01:01:16.889 --> 01:01:21.690
No. Exactly. Lesson learned. At the age of six

01:01:21.690 --> 01:01:24.130
and seven and eight, I didn't like, OK, I'm not

01:01:24.130 --> 01:01:25.809
a huge football fan. I wasn't a huge football

01:01:25.809 --> 01:01:29.170
fan. So to me, it was just like, hey, he's wearing

01:01:29.170 --> 01:01:30.650
a jersey. He's about to put two and two together.

01:01:30.750 --> 01:01:33.650
He's probably a football player. Was I wrong

01:01:33.650 --> 01:01:37.690
100 %? Oh, for God. I've got blessed America.

01:01:37.769 --> 01:01:39.090
I didn't work in construction. Probably thought

01:01:39.090 --> 01:01:48.019
I'd be one of the village people. Ladies we're

01:01:48.019 --> 01:01:51.460

01:01:51.460 --> 01:01:54.239

01:02:35.219 --> 01:02:38.730
the time out of your... Busy schedule after eating

01:02:38.730 --> 01:02:45.809
a lot of food All I can say is good luck to you

but your uncles and aunts proud Do your thing

01:02:56.449 --> 01:02:59.250
do you think that's what we tried our best? Your

01:02:59.250 --> 01:03:02.190
parents did best to build you up to go on to

01:03:02.190 --> 01:03:04.570
the world and make something better than what

01:03:04.570 --> 01:03:07.090
they're doing. I think that's every parent's

01:03:07.090 --> 01:03:10.150
dream to have their child do something way better

01:03:10.150 --> 01:03:12.309
than what they're doing in life at the moment.

01:03:12.710 --> 01:03:15.030
And once that's accomplished, we get to relax

01:03:15.030 --> 01:03:16.849
a little bit saying that it's gonna be okay.

01:03:17.210 --> 01:03:21.059
They're gonna be fine when that time comes. You

01:03:21.059 --> 01:03:24.039
